Hi, I am Mie. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter with deep knowledge of Japanese history, religions, and culture. Since I was born, raised, and finished college (majored in Japanese literature and history) in Hiroshima, I have a lot of stories as a local guide that you cannot read in any guidebooks. I love to guide you around my homeland and share ideas with you all. I love walking, traveling, climbing mountains, camping, and meeting people from all over the world. I have traveled around Japan climbing mountains for over 40 years and traveled to Canada, Switzerland, France, Spain, Nepal, Korea, Hong Kong, U. S, and so on mostly for climbing, trekking, and skiing. So if you want to travel both in cities or in nature, I will be your best guide. I have been enjoying being a guide. I am really happy and lucky to see and guide a lot of wonderful people from all over the world and it is my pleasure to share the time because I can learn a lot from my clients. I am looking forward to seeing you soon. National certified tour guide Interpreter. License No.EN00241 since 2011. Coordinator for Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA) *The Travel Agency Act prohibits including travel costs (meals, transportation and admission fees) in guide-interpreting fees. *Insurance is not included.

Let's learn about the history and future of Kure City, once a key naval base.
Overview of your Hiroshima tour
Kure City was once a major military port and naval arsenal, where the world’s largest battleship, the Yamato, was built. After World War II, Kure turned its shipbuilding expertise toward commercial vessels and became known for building some of the world’s largest tankers. On this tour, let’s explore the history and future of Kure, a city whose development continues to be supported by its advanced shipbuilding technology. *NOTE* The tour in Kure cannot be conducted on Tuesdays because ｍuseums in Kure are closed on Tuesdays. Please check the day you want to book the tour in advance.
